Harlemzheiress reacted to woman in me in 110 lbs gone w/ pics
Hi everyone. My surgery was 2/25/13. HW 340, DOS 301, CW 230. I'm 5 months out and 110 lbs down. From 26/28 to 14/16. Most people don't recognize me. My own father walked past me and didn't know who I was. I'm doing things I could never do before. I love my sleeve.

Harlemzheiress got a reaction from gmanbat in 3 days post op
I had my surgery june 10 I'm three days post op and I must admit the beginning was a struggle I feel much better now still haven't been able to actually eat anything but I'm trying to stay hydrated which is extremely hard because I don't want to eat or drink anything! I'm really bloated. I'm using the pain meds often I need them. I can't wait to be myself again.

Harlemzheiress reacted to T'snewstart in Nervous
Hi.... What seemed to help me is simple really.... Whenever I would question the decision to have the surgery done I would ask myself a very simple question. Why am I doing this? For me it was to save my life. I know that sounds extreme. But, tht is how I felt. I knew I could not continue on the road I was on. I had tried everything and could not keep the weight off. Surgery was the next step to freedom.
And honestly, it worked! I am free from the drive for food. I eat when my stomach feels empty. I never felt that before... My stomach was never empty. It is true freedom. You wanted to know what to expect after.... Well is it for me. Freedom!
During the first month of the healing process I went through periods of discomfort. It took time to get used to having a small stomach. However, you will adjust... You will learn how to fit these changes into your life. Things settle and become normal again.
Honestly, you will look back on this time and wonder why you got the jitters in the first place. I think sometimes we fear the unknown. We are all different in our reasons for having the surgery done. So what ever the reasons are you want this surgery... Think on those things as the nervous jitters try to mess with your thinking. I hope this helps!
Best wishes Tina
